Just thought I would ask the panel for their wisdom on this one. I have a pal who is longing to scratch the Jaguar XJ itch probably the 4.0 litre V8 or Supercharged XJR of 2000 - 2004 vintage and has asked my opinion before we try to source one.
Now I've driven a few Jags but never long enough to put my hand up and offer an owners opinion, I know about the V8 engine liner issues and am pretty well up on the mechanical side of things, what I could use some advice on is what is the real world fuel economy of the 4.0 and 3.2? my pal has about a 60 mile round trip commute every day, what are the electrics like on these cars in terms of reliability?
I would welcome comments from anyone who has owned one or ran one, before we start hunting.
Thanks in Advance
